The NHS often refuses to test PTH if calcium is within normal range. NG132 recommends no further investigations if calcium is <2.6. A lady had to borrow £6500 to pay privately to have this 2cm #parathyroid adenoma removed. She was robbed by #NG132 & #NHS calcium 2.48, PTH 11.2
We're hearing more NHS Trusts are doubling the top of their #PTH ranges. A move to hold back the hoards of #hyperparathyroid patients getting diagnosed? To be clear, PTH above 'mid range' with high normal/high calcium still indicates PHPT.
@AllisonPearson@RachelReevesMP I’m sorry but even if you don’t agree with her policies to try and reduce her is demeaning to you and all women… there is enough of that going on in the World without women doing it to women.
To all the GPs telling patients they can't refer out of area. Then patients show them patient choice: https://t.co/rmxJfHF3od
When the gaslighters have their gaslighting theories proven to be gaslighting, they can't continue to gaslight. @rcgp
A lady suffered 18 years of #hyperparathyroidism symptoms & #osteoporosis Finally saw an NHS endocrinologist who told her to look up, felt her neck & said, 'just as I thought, nothing wrong with you'. Finally diagnosed after private consultation. This is why we fight the #NHS
You post continuously trying to “expose” me as an Iranian man about a scenario Iranians warned us about from inside the country. So I’ll tell you what this man taking about.
Since the #WomanLifeFreedom movement in 2022 when the regime also shut down the internet cutting off voices of protest, Iranians inside Iran asked for us on the outside to “refuse silence and be our voice”.
Rather than be curious about what you quote below and seek further information about who is saying this and why, you tweet that I am somehow insane and spread misinformation.
My dear Owen, it is not your country. Be a journalist by all means but it is overstepping a boundary when speaking over Iranians when it doesn’t suit your narrative. It is the epitome of western privilege and supremacy.
I don’t need you to believe those few voices coming out of Iran under a digital black out. Simply asking you to stop speaking over them.
A lady diagnosed with #hyperparathyroidism 5 years ago, with 2 adenomas identified, has been left to suffer on the basis of the #NHS lie, 'Your levels arent high enough to cause your symptoms'. Finally placed on a surgical waiting list, she's forgotten what 'normal' feels like...
A group discussion about elevated #parathyroid hormone and heart failure. The #NHS & #NG132 advise rationing PTH tests to save £10. An acute heart attack will cost the NHS over £4200. Make it make sense please @wesstreeting

Another day, another patient, whose GP lied, gaslighted, fobbed them off because of ignorance. 'We can't test your vitamin D or magnesium, you need to ask your endocrinologist when you see them.' To a lady who's already waited 8 months for an endo appointment. Lies from @RCGP
@edtchirp@SportSEENuk@Telegraph And the Supreme Court clarified on 16 April last year that a man (or boy) remains a man (or boy) despite any claim to gender reassignment, and single sex exceptions still apply.
Bonus fact: the GRA does not apply to under-18s.
As you so helpfully said, facts matter.
Lessons to be learned by doctors enforcing watch & wait for calcium 2.85-3.00. This self funded lady had pre-op calcium 2.61 & was very symptomatic. Scans showed one #adenoma. A scan guided surgeon would have left her uncured. The NHS is failing #PHPT patients. @wesstreeting
@GoodLawProject That's not what the court said, and you know it. The court said the action needs to be taken by an individual. NOT that it's ok for men to be in women's space
